Team Changes:

Competitors who change teams during the series should notify WORS as soon as possible after the change via a team modification form. The team points they have earned prior to notification will remain with their previous team. Team points cannot be contributed to their new team until 2016.

Registration

Teams must register by July 14, 2015. Team points will be awarded retroactively through the date each team member began racing with a WORS series number. Team members who change categories during the season and reregister with WORS will receive credit for both categories.

Download the team registration form below and turn it in to WORS by July 14, 2015. Team scores are figured retroactively back to the first race for which each team member had a 2015 WORS series number.

Team Scoring

Participants:

To receive credit toward the “Participants” awards in WORS Team Competition a competitor must have a valid WORS series number and must either finish the race with a recorded time or report their DNF to timing the day of the race. Teams eceive one point for each team member, meeting the above criteria, towards the “Participants” competition.

Points:

Points for the “Points” competition of WORS Team Competition are figured by taking the series overall points each team member earns (see WORS Guidelines, WORS Scoring) and multiplying those points by the class multiplier. No points are earned for DNFs or DNS’s.

Only racers listed on the team roster that accompanied their team registration form will be scored.
